A variety of services in ARIM
Technical Consultation
The technical staff of each hub & spoke institution responds to user’s various requirements to solve technical issues.
Equipment Operation by users
Equipment is operated by the users themselves. Data analysis is also carried out by the user.
Technical Assistance
Users operate the equipment with the assistance of technical staff of ARIM.
Operation on behalf of users
Based on the request, the technical staff of ARIM conducts experiments, measurements, and analyses.
Research Collaboration
Users and hub-spoke institutions of ARIM will collaborate on experiments, data analysis and academic discussions.
Data Utilization
The accumulated data can be used as a database and can also be utilized to derive new information for users.
